I hate the like…. cutesy plasticization of animated movie monsters. Many of the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon were a little too simplified and smooth to suit the surrounding animation style but it worked well enough. It definitely did not work in The Sea Beast, which was otherwise cute—every single monster was distractingly flat and oversimplified that particular “CGI designed to become plastic toys” way that I really don’t think matched the richness of every other texture in the movie.

@therainingkiwi dude, me too. i honestly have been hesitant to say it for a while because i wasn't sure how it would be received, but it's nice to know i'm not alone in my line of thinking. percy and annabeth would be foster parents of every demigod whose mortal parent won't step up. great addition, dude!
I have been waiting for someone to make this comparison for a while 😂literally I am so happy someone else saw it💜
acey-deucey!
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
